ers, nearly all good natured souls and jolly.
But they are constituencies about this kind OF
treason &c the commerce of the world. lthas
probably come down to them through the
veins of the old buccaneers naturally enough.
They regard everything cast upon the shores,
every vessel that grounds upon the dangerous
rocks and keys, and every craft that can even
be lured upon the rocks as their rightful gain,
and receive all such ocean salvage as if the
unqualified blessing of heaven accompanied it.
Let word come to Nassau of a wreck any,
where within 200 miles, and you will behold
one of the most interesting scenes you ever
witnessed From every quarter of the city
yes, from the suburbs and miles beyond-come
black and yellow and brown and saffron
colored and white folk of the lower illl,
as if for the first time in their
lives awakened by some tremendous excite
ment. This even extends to very grave skip
pers and masters of large craft in the bay,
and more than one business man kindles with
nervous unrest Everybody is seized with
the fever, just as in the old Pacific slope
times the settled mining town went wild at
word of new "iind." Every imaginable
character of craft is suddenly alive with hu-
manity, eager, eXpectant, in perfect tremor
of nervous anxiety to be first to get away.
Hundreds are running and yelling on shore.
Hundreds more are lifting anchors, loosen
ing sail, provisioning craft and singing in
wild and exuberant tones, as preparations are
crafty made. Then the fleet sets out, a
score or more of craft abreast, and resorting
to all possible expedients to outdistance each
other, while hundred or more beggarly
craft, as with men in their race for life's
places and positions, are struggling and strag-
Cling after in entangled confusion, the vic
Tins of all manner of derision and badinage
from those who remain ashore to philosoph-
ically share the pickings of these sea vutures
that will soon devour the wreck which has
been so keenly scented from afar.

THE COURTS.
SUPREME COURT.

A. H. Willie, Chief Justice; Associate
Justices, j. W. Stayton and r. r. Gaines,
Charles s. Morse, Clerk; NJ. M. johnson,
Bailiff.
DE- and G. H. Mcclure VS.. heirs of G..
W. Sheek, from Baylor county. Opinion
by Gaines, A. j.
In 1872 j. W. Sheek sold tract of land
for S2,7OO, of which $500 was paid in cash,
and j. NJ. Lane, debtor of the vendee,
assumed to pay the balance in cattle. 1t
was agreed that Lane should pay G. w.
Sheek Ia brother of j. w. Sheek) the bal
ance, and issued an obligation to him. j.
W. Sheek was insolvent at this time,
and the transfer was made
to secure debt due his
brother of 1896, and the balance was to
be paid on a debt of $4,000, due j. S.
Sheek, another brother of j. W. S., pro-
vided, it was nor paid out of certain col
lateral he then held. When the obligation
for the cattle fell due, Lane made bill of
sale of fifty-eight cattle, valued at 1896,
which discharged the debt due &. w.
Sheek, and J. s. Sheek having collected
his claim in the meantime, the balance
was paid into the hands of j. W. S., who
as he testified, appropriated IN payment
of house to his sister to whom he was
under obligation, and the balance was
paid to his creditors.
The bill of sale was dated 1874, ten
years before the levy was made, which
gave rise to this suit. The cattle levied
on were in part those transferred by the
bill of sale and their increase. 1t was
shown that J, w. s., because his brother
G. w. Sheek, was physically unable, at
tended to the cattle, for which he was to
receive one-third of the calves.
The court did not err in overruling
appellants application for continuance
because the agreement for it was made
by appellees counsel without their
consent, and appellant did moi
show that it would prejudice
their claim, but relied solely on the agree
ment while appellees showed that it would
prejudice them very much, by cattle dying
etc. Such agreements are not like con
tracts, and may be set aside by the exer-
else of sound discretion in the court.
! The court did not err in excluding Wit

Disease and Death

Force their way into many household that
might be protected from their inroads, by the
simple precautiop Of keeping in the house
that benign family medicine and safeguard of
health, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Partic-
ularly where there are children, should it be
kept on hand, as prompt remedy for infan'
tile complaints, in their outset easily conquer
able, but which, If allowed to engrlft them
selves on the delicate childish organism, are
not easily dislodged, and speedily work griev-
Gus mischief. lrregularity of the bowels,
Indigestion and bIlliousness are ailments of
common occurrence in the household.
Children, living In marlarious regions are
more liable to be attacked with chills and
fever than adults, and the ravages of that fell
disease in their System are speedier and more
serious. In remote localities far from pro-
fessional aid, it is especially desirable.

rhe Romanoe Of avn Orphan.

The last "gurl" was from home. OF her
work she knew absolutely nothing, but she
could stand severe examination about the
London theatres and other places of amuse-
ment. 1t Is not surprising that those in
authority do not teach the orphan girls UNI
der their care how to- cook and scrub, make
beds properly and clean a ROOM Mabel and
her mother touched very lightly on the sub
iect of the "home," thinking that the girl
might be susceptible about belonging to no
one and being nameless in the world. But
their delicacy was all thrown away. The
girls mind was filed to the brim with ro-
mantle ideas about her birth. How could
she tell who her parents were? They might
be titled people, who would some day drive
up in "a magnificent carriage to claim their
laughter. These notions absolutely pre-
vented her from doing her work properly.
She asked Mabel one day how she could ex-
,ect her to scrub saucepans when she did not
mow whose daughter she might be. This
